Progressive Gaming International Corp. (NASDAQ: PGIC, $8.20, Buy - Price Target: $11) Founded in 1986, Mikohn Gaming Corporation, d/b/a Progressive Gaming International Corp., is a leading supplier to gaming operators worldwide. The company began as a supplier of progressive jackpot systems. During the 1990s, through equity (1993-IPO) and debt (1995) raises, the company funded acquisitions and internal development to diversify its product and service offerings. By August 2002, the companys capital-intensive model was mired in debt and competition was fierce. In response, the company began a major restructuring, which entailed a shift in the overall business strategy from Built and Serviced by to Licensed from. Today, licensed in over 200 jurisdictions worldwide, the company is a leading worldwide provider of innovative technology-based products for gaming operators concentrated in table and slot game content and software systems.
